The ultimate tearjerker, this 1942 romance classic directed by Mervyn LeRoy (based on a novel by James Hilton) stars Ronald Colman as a British army officer suffering from amnesia after World War I. After falling in love with and marrying a dance-hall singer (Greer Garson), Colman's happy character begins a career as a writer and doesn't seem to mind that he doesn't remember who he is. A car accident changes all that, however, causing the hero's memory to return and making him forget all about his lovely cottage and bride. LeRoy modulates the obvious suspense element in the story (for example, is Colman going to remember Greer or not?) extremely well, building ever-so-deliciously slowly toward a huge payoff. This is one of the great date movies of all time. --Tom Keogh

Summary: Stilted English romance
Comment: My search for the perfect romantic comedy continues with this 1942 drama of love found, lost and rediscovered. Colman, looking rather middle aged, plays a World War I British office wounded in the trenches who has lost his memory and is stuck in an asylum. Greer Garson, who is lovely, befriends him for reasons that are not very clear. They fall in love, marry and have a child.
Then on a trip of Liverpool, Colman's character is hit by a car. He recovers his lost memory but loses all recollection of the past three years including his marriage.
Now he's a wealthy landowner, businessman and ultimately member of parliament. His faithful secretary and right-hand woman turns out to be abandoned wife Garson who lives to be near him and waits patiently for the man she married to reappear.
Will Colman remember his lost love? Will these two find love? Will tomorrow be Monday and the next day Tuesday?
The acting in this movie is quite old-fashioned and lots of British stiff upper lips are in evidence. The "sex" is sexless and Colman's character especially is rather passive. There isn't much spark between the characters. But the movie remains rather sweet and innocent and the ending is touching.
I'm still looking for that perfect romance but this is not a total waste of time.

Comment: This is a lovely story of how true love will always win. It may be a classic but it still grabs your attention and brings you into the life of these two people and you are just hanging to the edge of the couch towards the end to see if...Well I can't tell you or it would ruin the movie. Let's just say that the fact tht this movie is in black and white will not affect the way you see the movie.
